How to break the cycle of trauma: Eddie Acosta’s powerful story going from abused to advocate (Part 1)
Steady Ground Parenting
“How can I break cycles of generational trauma?” “How can I stop my Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) from reflecting onto my kids?” — Almost everyone experiences trauma in their lives, and it weighs heavily on each of us. 33% of people who experienced trauma in their childhood reflect it onto their children, creating a cycle of trauma. But we aren’t defined by our trauma, and generational trauma is avoidable. In fact, today Benoit Harpey and Amina Elsamahy sit down with Eddie Acosta, who is a child abuse and neglect survivor, speaker on trauma-informed parenting, youth professional, author, and advocate for breaking the cycle of trauma. In part one of this conversation, Eddie tells his story from being an abused foster kid to a father who broke the cycle of trauma in his family, explains why trauma is often repeated, and tells us what it takes to build a trauma-free home. This isn’t out of reach—Eddie did it, and so can you. Hit play to hear meaningful insights, gain practical advice, and to start breaking the cycle of trauma in your family today.
